New Pelion Hut

While it is the 'new' Pelion Hut, this one is still older than the huts of the previous two nights, and it was cool to have a different vibe to the place. Straying from the previously explained hut layout, this one was almost like a big old house, with a verandah deck running all the way around. One half of the building was a long communal area, with 3 or 4 doors leading out into the second half of the building: bunk rooms. Felt a lot more school camp-ish.

Again, the sun remained an absolute treat, and the deck railings soon became adorned with just about every bit of clothing and gear people had. With insane levels of smugness, the only damp thing I had were my boots, so they went out to get some sunshine. Something you hear over and over about the OLT is "embrace having wet feet, wet socks, wet shoes the whole time, don't fight it, you won't win, just get used to it". Well call me bloody world champ then 'cause I won. Dry socks/feet the whole time. Poles, fairly dry weather, and treating each stretch of mud like a fun ninja warrior course helped greatly.Läs mer
